Beautiful large old barn on Tranquility Rd., Middlebury CT
This large well maintained beauty of a barn and Silo sits quietly at the end of a long autumn New England day on Tranquility Rd., in Middlebury CT. I’d love to know when this was built. I suspect it’s older than it looks as, I’m sure, this was all farm land back in the day. It is maintained unusually well for an old barn. All the white trim around the windows and doors are updated and in perfect condition. There’s not a broken window pane anywhere which means they don’t critters nesting inside and ruining the interior. The wood shakes have been flawlessly maintained. The inside must be all post…

Richs Farm, Oxford CT
Rich Farm Ice Cream 691 Oxford Road (Rt 67) Oxford, Connecticut 06478 When Cheryl and I pulled the car along the side of Rt 67 to photograph this absolutely gorgeous barn it started raining. I rolled down the drivers side window and was able to squeeze off two shots but it was raining to hard that I had to close the window and call it a day. Fortunately when I got home I was glad to see that I got a decent shot.

Barn on Whitmore Rd., Middlebury CT
This was another barn on our list for Cheryl and I today in the town of Middlebury CT. It’s situated on Whitmore Rd. with it’s “modern” looking garage door entrance. I suspect that the owners park their cars in there and needed a working automated garage door. However, it’s the garage door that gives this barn an unusual look. All in all it has a nice appearance tucked away amongst the surrounding foliage. Photographed with a Nikon D7100 and a Nikon 18-55 lens @ 42mm (63mm = 33mm equiv.) 1/320th, f16, ISO 500, Aperture Priority

Beautiful entrance in Milford
I was on my way back from Milford Photo and I was going through the downtown area I saw this beautiful home. The stonework, the wooden shingles, the vintage style front door which was made all the better by the presence of “Old Glory” swinging in the breeze in the form of the Betsy Ross 13 star rendition. To me this was America, this was New England. I had to pull over and take a photo. I didn’t have any of my gear with me but I did have a pocket camera in the car for just such “emergencies”. Taken with a Fujifilm F100fd, 12MP, finepix camera. 1/320th, f4, ISO…

Sun setting on barn in an East Hampton CT field
Cheryl and I were chasing down a list of old barns we were going after. We were happy to see the sunshine settingt on this old barn in a grassy East Hampton CT field.

Hidden gem in Deep River CT
This small, but beautifully aging, barn is situated on a residential lot in the countryside of Deep River CT. I love the way the wood has aged. The only thing that would have made this even better is if the original roof was still in place. Photographed with a Sony Nex 7, 24.3 MP mirrorless camera and a Sony 18-55 mm lens. 1/160th, f8, ISO 400 at varying focal lengths.

Drowning in ivy…………Berlin CT
This beautiful old barn is slowly becoming one with nature as foliage overcomes it. I would think it’s a pretty fair assumption that this barn has been put out to pasture. I’m glad that it, at least, has not been torn down (yet?). There is still a story her to be told and, as far as I’m concerned, these old barns have charm until they can’t stand any longer. This barn was one of a handful on Orchard Rd. in Berlin CT. Photographed with Nikon D7100 and a Nikon 18-55 lens at 40mm / 60mm equiv in 35. 1/160th, F11, ISO 100 A Two shots were taken: One of the…
